the one thing I find neat is that we now live the same distance from Las Vegas as Los Angeles; about 2 hours from either one. we are essentially half way between LA and Vegas, right off the15, smack down I the middle of the Mojave Desert....

there are tons of mines, outcrops and alluvial fields all over the place out here... actually, the close proximity to mule canyon and the calico mountains was one of the prime selling points for us. we have a secret celestite psuedomorph deposit that we discovered about 10 miles from the house, and have been working it for about 5 years now. the only problem was it was too far from our place in LA to go more than a a few times a year. so finding a place so nearby was just amazing. once we get moved in, and aren't dead tired from home repair and remodeling, there will be much mineral collecting in my future!
